Tell me more

Hi, I’m Enrico, also known as Sumitra. Sumitra is my spiritual name, a Sanskrit name meaning “good friend”. It reminds me how I want to teach: with warmth, openness and respect for where you are, and it is the name I chose for my work.

I guide yoga, meditation, breath work and vocal coaching, for individuals and for teams. Sumitra Yoga is where I bring these together as one holistic approach, from recharging body and mind to speaking and singing with a clear, confident voice.

Music has been part of my life for more than 20 years. I studied at artist schools in Hamburg and worked as a singer and vocal coach. Later, in operations and customer work across Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands, I learned how demanding a working day can be. So what I teach is calm, practical and personal.

In 2026 I lived for five months at the Yoga Vidya ashram in Bad Meinberg, where I trained as a yoga teacher. Living yoga every day shaped the way I teach, and I still teach Hatha Yoga there today.

My sessions are for anyone who wants to feel more at home in their body and voice, from busy professionals to teams. No experience needed. I offer them in German, Swiss German, English, Dutch and French, online, at your location, or in Amsterdam and Horn-Bad Meinberg.

Yoga

Hatha Yoga in the Yoga Vidya tradition

I teach classical Hatha Yoga as I learned it at Yoga Vidya: a calm, clear structure that combines breath, movement and deep relaxation. The sequence stays familiar from class to class, so you can let go, notice your progress and simply arrive.

What a class looks like

ArriveA short relaxation to leave the day behind.
Breath workPranayama to energise and calm the mind.
Sun salutationA flowing sequence to warm up the whole body.
12 basic posturesThe heart of the class, held with awareness.
Final relaxationDeep rest to let everything settle.

The 12 basic postures

  1. Headstand Sirshasana
  2. Shoulder stand Sarvangasana
  3. Plough Halasana
  4. Fish Matsyasana
  5. Seated forward bend Paschimottanasana
  6. Cobra Bhujangasana
  7. Locust Shalabhasana
  8. Bow Dhanurasana
  9. Half spinal twist Ardha Matsyendrasana
  10. Crow Kakasana
  11. Standing forward bend Pada Hastasana
  12. Triangle Trikonasana

Every posture has gentler variations. Beginners never have to do a headstand: you practise at your own pace, and I adapt each class to the people in the room.

Good to know

Do I need any experience?

No. The classes are suitable for complete beginners as well as experienced practitioners. I offer variations for every posture.

What should I bring?

Comfortable clothes you can move in. For in-person sessions a mat is provided if needed. Please avoid a heavy meal in the two hours before class.

How long is a class?

One-to-one sessions take 60 minutes. Group classes and team sessions can last 60 to 120 minutes.

Can I practise if I have health issues?

Usually yes, with adjustments. Please tell me about injuries, pregnancy or medical conditions beforehand, and check with your doctor if you are unsure.
